Twisted Ankle, Fuzziness, Pain, Swelling. X-ray Not Done Because Of Suspected Pregnancy. Advise?
i twisted my ankle on monday and went to a walk in centre who said they couldnt xray it because i might be pregnant, so i have been resting it but still using it a bit and since last night i have had terrible tingling/fuzziness which nearly feels like cramp. it is still quite painful and really swollen. just wondering what i should do next?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your symptoms suggestive of ankle sprain. As pregnancy is suspected and xray could not be done, do not worry, follow the principles of RICE (rest, ice to affected area, compression by creape bandage., elevation of limb).
Hope this will helps you
